Singapore Private Property Price Under Tremendous Pressure

Stock market fallen 45%.(STI 3800->2100)
Property sales down 81.4 per cent from August 2007. (1720 Aug 2007->320 Aug 2008)
GDP down 50% (2007 7.5% --> 2008 likely 4% or less)

Property price only down 1.8%? Sustainable? The support base is eroding month after month. If (when) it collapses, it will likely be serious.


Nicholas Mak:
‘As (these) problems persisted, it was only a matter of time before overall private home prices started to fall as well. Whatever price gain was achieved in the first half of this year will be given up in H2, resulting in flat prices for the whole of 2008.’

CB Richard Ellis’ executive director Li Hiaw Ho.:
‘Prices, which are now under tremendous pressure, are likely to decline again in Q4,’

DTZ’s Ms Chua.:
Even the OCR is unlikely to be immune. ‘While it has been performing better, prices in that area will also drop if the economic slowdown continues,’

But have 3 Factories as my business is in Engineering Line. Early of this year , I intended to buy a Condo at Sophia area , which around S$ 1700.00 per Sqft for my family.
Fortunately , I read about this Forum and decided not to buy it.
Thank You.
